Full details
The Richa Titan 2 Protective Hoodie is designed for adult riders seeking a blend of casual style and essential motorcycle protection.

FAQs
Is this hoodie suitable for all weather conditions?
The Richa Titan 2 Protective Hoodie is best suited for mild to moderate weather. It offers good breathability but may not provide sufficient insulation or waterproofing for very cold, wet, or extreme conditions. Consider layering for colder temperatures.
What type of protection does it offer?
It features D3O armor at the shoulders and elbows for impact protection. The polycotton outer shell provides some abrasion resistance, but it is less robust than dedicated textile or leather motorcycle jackets.
Can I wash the hoodie with the armor inside?
No, it is crucial to remove the D3O armor before washing the hoodie to prevent damage to both the armor and the garment.
How do I ensure the hoodie stays in place while riding?
The hoodie is equipped with connection straps designed to attach to compatible Richa motorcycle trousers. This helps prevent the hoodie from riding up during your ride.
What is D3O armor?
D3O is a special material that is flexible and soft in its natural state but locks together on impact, absorbing and dissipating energy. This provides high-level protection without compromising comfort or flexibility.
How do I care for the detachable softshell hood?
The softshell hood can be spot cleaned or gently hand washed separately. Ensure it is air-dried completely before reattaching it to the hoodie.
Troubleshooting
Hood won't detach/attach securely.
Ensure the zipper is fully engaged and free of debris. Check that the zipper track is clean and undamaged.
Armor feels loose or shifts during wear.
Verify that the armor is the correct size for the pockets and is fully seated within its designated compartment. Ensure the internal Velcro or securing straps (if present) are fastened.
Minor stains on the fabric.
Attempt spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, follow the general washing instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This hoodie requires minimal setup. Ensure the D3O armor pieces are correctly inserted into their designated pockets at the shoulders and elbows. The softshell hood attaches and detaches via a zipper mechanism located around the neckline.
Compatibility:
- Connection Straps: Designed to connect with Richa motorcycle trousers that feature corresponding attachment loops. Check your pant's specifications for compatibility.
- Armor Pockets: Standardized pockets for D3O shoulder and elbow protectors. While D3O is standard, ensure any aftermarket armor purchased fits correctly within these pockets.
Care Instructions:
- Remove Armor: Before washing, always remove the D3O armor from the shoulder and elbow pockets.
- Washing: Hand wash or use a delicate cycle on your washing machine with cold water. Use a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outerwear.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the hoodie to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting armor.
- Hood Care: The detachable softshell hood can be spot cleaned or gently hand washed separately. Follow the same drying precautions.
